Conserving Water
While our manufacturing processes do not utilize large amounts of water, we recognize the importance of monitoring and reporting our water usage and seek to identify areas of improvement to minimize our water consumption.
We track water consumption using our third-party bill consolidator and through an annual enterprise-wide survey. We have also identified which of our facilities are located in water-stressed areas, allowing us to prioritize water conservation efforts where they are most needed. For more information about our water stress analysis, please see the Sustainability Reporting section of this report.
In 2023, our total water consumption was 103,078,369 gallons and 108,416,761 in 2024. The increase in 2024 was driven largely by the acquisition of our STC Material Solutions business in December 2023.
